Recently, precast concrete products have been increasingly used in the construction of bridges except for special bridges like long-span bridge due to their easy and high-quality construction. Specially the use of precast prestressed concrete hollow box slab bridges is also increased due to the merits in their construction. Thus, an experimental evaluation of flexural behavior of the precast PSC hollow box slab bridges and a development of effective analytical technique for the behavior are necessary. For the development, experimental study on the flexural behavior of the precast bridges up to ultimate states is needed. In this study, two full-scale precast PSC hollow box slab girders are manufactured and full-scale flexural failure tests of the girders subjected to cyclic loading are carried out. For the failure analysis of the girders, the so-called volume control method is applied to finite element analysis of the precast PSC hollow box slab girders discretized using multi-layered shell elements. The analytical results by the volume control method is verified by comparing with test results.

A multi-level optimum design algorithm for prestressed concrete (PSC) box girders is proposed in this paper. To save the numerical efforts, a multi-level optimization technique using model coordination method that separately utilizes both tendon profile design and section design is incorporated. And also, a reduced basis technique for the efficient tendon profile optimization is proposed in this paper. From the numerical investigations, it may be positively stated that the optimum design of PSC box girder based on the new approach proposed in this study will lead to more rational and economical design compared with the currently available designs.

The goal of this study is to show the way to increase the safety of deteriorated PSC beam bridges by the to-box reinforcing method. This method is to change the open girder section into the closed box section by connecting bottom flanges of neighboring PSC girders with the precast panels embedding PS tendons at the anchor block. The box section is composed of three concrete members with different casting ages, RC slab, PSC beam, precast panel. This different aging requires a time-dependent analysis considering construction sequences. Reliability index and failure probability are produced by the AFOSM reliability analysis. Transversely five schemes and longitudinally two schemes are considered. The full reinforcing scheme, transversely and longitudinally, shows the highest reliability index, but it requires more cost for retrofit. The partial reinforcing scheme 4, 4-1 are recommended in this study as the economically best scheme.

Recently, advanced transit systems are being constructed to reduce traffic congestions in metropolitan areas. For these projects, curved bridges with various curvatures are required. Many curved bridges in the past were constructed using aesthetically unpleasant straight beams with curved slabs or expensive curved steel box girders with curved slabs. Therefore, many recent studies have been performed to develop less expensive and very safe precast prestressed concrete (PSC) curved girder. One method of reducing the construction cost of a PSC curved girder is to use a reusable formwork that can easily be adjusted to change the curvature and length of a girder. A reusable and curvature/dimension adjustable formwork called Multi-tasking formwork is developed for constructing efficient precast PSC curved girders. With the Multi-tasking formwork, two 40 m precast PSC box girders with different curvatures were constructed to build a two-girder curved bridge for a static flexural test to evaluate its safety and serviceability performance. The static flexural test results showed that the initial cracking load was 1400 kN, exceeding the design cracking load of 450 kN. Also, the code allowed deflection of 50 mm occurred at a load of 1800 kN, verifying the safety and serviceability of the precast PSC curved bridge constructed using the multi-tasking formwork.

In order to resolve the problem of increasing traffic entailed by the economic development, road system is reorganization and new highways are built, and long span bridges over 40m are being constructed in environmental and aesthetic considerations. Most long span bridges that are currently being constructed are in general steel box girder and preflex girder bridges; however these types of breiges are less efficiency than PSC I-type girder bridges in terms of construction cost and maintenance. Therefore, in these study, structural efficiency of PSC I-type girders based on section parameters, concrete compressive strength and other design parameter is observed to develope new PSC I-type girder for long span bridges. As a results of analysis, most important design parameters that control the stress of the girder are found to be the top flange width and the height of girder. In this light, the relationship between the two variables is determined and cross-section details of the girder that most appropriates for the long span bridges are proposed. The use of high strength concrete appears to increase the general design span however the increase rate of the span from increasing concrete ultimate strength appears to be reduced depending on the span. Also, the optimal girder spacing is determined through the parameter studies of design span using the proposed girder.

In this paper, an experimental study is carried out to find out structural behavior of upper slab in concrete box girder bridges. The major variables in the tests are the cross-section of upper slab including haunch dimensions. The strains of concrete and steel bars and the deflections of slabs are measured automatically during the tests. The test results indicate that the size of haunches has much influence on the structural behavior of box girders. The appropriate haunch dimensions are suggested from the present study.

본 연구는 하나의 프리캐스트 거더를 분할하여 세그먼트로 각각 공장에서 제작하여 현장으로 운반한 후 포스트텐션 방식으로 체결하여 가설하는 분절공법으로 제작된 철도교 조립식 콘크리트 박스 거더의 정적 성능을 검증하고자 한다. 길이 20m의 실물 조립식 콘크리트 거더를 3등분으로 분절하여 제작한 후, 정적 성능 검증을 위해 같은 제원의 일체 거더와 동일한 조건에서 재하 실험을 수행하였다. 분절 거더 및 일체 거더에 대해 중앙 처짐, 단부 회전각, 균열 양상 등을 비교하였다. 또한 분절 거더의 접합부 거동을 모니터링하기 위해서 수직 상대 변위 및 수평 상대 변위를 최대 재하 하중까지 측정하였다. 분절 거더의 처짐은 육안으로 균열이 감지되는 균열하중 이상부터 일체 거더보다 상대적으로 크게 발생하고 있음을 알 수 있었다. 그러나 분절 거더는 균열하중에 도달하기 전까지 일체 거더와 동일한 거동을 보였다. 또한 분절부의 전단변형 여부를 조사하기 위한 수직 및 수평 상대 변위를 측정한 결과, 최종 재하 하중까지 전단에 의한 변형이 발생하지 않고 있음을 확인하였다. 또한 각 하중단계 별로 비교한 균열 양상은 분절 거더가 일체 거더와 같이 휨에 의한 사인장균열의 형태로 파괴가 진행되고 있음을 보였다.

최근 곡선교 사용이 증가함에 따라 기존 곡선 교량의 한계점을 극복하고자 PSC 곡선 주형을 이용한 곡선교에 대한 해석적 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 그러나 기존의 프레임 요소를 이용한 격자해석방법으로는 PSC 곡선교에 대한 정밀해석이 어렵다. 이에 따라 이 연구에서는 PSC 곡선교의 정밀 유한 요소 해석을 실시하여 프리캐스트 PSC 곡선교의 설계를 위한 참고자료로 사용하고자 한다. 이를 위하여 3차원 솔리드 요소를 사용한 모델링을 실시하고, 거더 수, 하중 재하 위치, 단면 변화, 긴장력 변화 및 편긴장력 도입 여부와 같은 매개변수에 대한 거동을 평가하였다. 해석 결과 경간장 50 m 3주형 교량의 항복하중과 파괴 하중이 경간장 40 m 2주형 교량에 비해 200% 이상의 성능을 보였고, 외측거더에 하중을 가하였을 경우 도심의 위치에 따라 하중저항력 및 거더 간의 처짐 편차가 낮게 평가되는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 거더 단면을 변화시킨 경우 단면의 증가에 따라 구조성능이 향상되는 것으로 나타났으나 PS도입량의 변화에 의한 효과에 비해 경제성과 시공성에서 불리한 것으로 나타났다. PS 도입량 변화에 따른 영향을 분석한 결과 PS 도입량이 증가함에 따라 솟음량과 하중저항력이 비례하여 증가하였으며 거더 간 처짐 편차가 줄어드는 경향을 보였다. 또한, 편긴장력을 도입하였을 시 도입량 증가에 비례하여 내외측 거더 모두에서 하중저항력이 증가하며, 특히 외측거더에 편긴장력이 도입되었을 때 더 우수한 성능을 보이는 것으로 나타나, PSC 곡선교의 경제성 및 안정성을 확보하는데 효율적인 것으로 나타났다.

Generally, a precast prestressed concrete (PSC) beam is used as girders for short-to-medium span (less than 30 m) bridges due to the advantages of simple design and construction, reduction of construction budget, maintenance convenience. In order to increase the span length beyond 50 m of precast PSC girder, PSC hollow box girder with unbonded prestressed H-type steel beam placed at the compressive region is proposed. The unbonded compressive prestressing in the H-type steel beams in the girder is made to recover plastic deflection of PSC girder when the pre-stressing is released. Also, the H-steel beams allow minimization of depth-to-length ratio of the girder by reducing the compressive region of the cross-section, thereby reducing the weight of the girder. A quasi-static 3-point bending test with 4 different loading steps is performed to verify safety and plastic deflection recovery of the girder. The experimental results showed that the maximum applied load exceeded the maximum design load and most of the plastic deflection was recovered when the compressive prestressing of H-type steel beams is released. Also using prestressed H-type steel as compression reinforcements in the upper part of cross section, repair and restoration difficulty and cost of PSC girders should be significantly reduced. The study result and analysis are discussed in detail in the paper.
